3 Deadly Marketing Lies That Most People Still Believe In

There are so many different marketing lies that a lot of entrepreneurs believe in.

And the worst thing is a lot of people think that these lies are the truth. That’s why 95{f3c65145988e2e59c83e583cebd868b487b41a6223d103cb7159bbb31ea456e1} of the people in our industry still not getting any results.

They keep making these mistakes over and over again.

It’s time to expose these marketing lies to you, so you don’t EVER make them in your business.

You’re in this industry to achieve your goals and dreams. And you want to avoid as many mistakes as possible, right?

Then read this entire post, where I share the exact 3 deadly marketing lies that a lot of people still believe in, and how YOU can get past them, and start getting results in your business.

Lie #1: I need to learn everything

When you are brand new in the online marketing industry, and you start to learn how things work here, you may realize that they are a crap ton of strategies that you can implement. And guess what? ALL of them work! You will experience the shiny object syndrome, like I did when I just got started online.

Don’t try to put too much on your plate. When you go to the buffet, you’re not gonna eat everything, right? The same thing works in this industry. You physically cannot do everything all at once. You only have 24 hours in a day.

You have to start with the basic skills that will get you RESULTS, so that you can expand your skills. Trying to do EVERY SINGLE strategy won’t get you far. Heck, it won’t get you anywhere. You’re not gonna manage to do everything in 24 hours. Well actually less than 24 hours, considering that we sleep on average 8 hours.

Some basic skills are such as prospecting (this will get you results faster) aka communication skills, generating leads (no matter which source you choose, it has to be one) and following up with your leads to eventually close them in your business / opportunity / affiliate program.

A lot of people try to learn everything right away when they are getting started, they get frustrated, overwhelmed, not getting any results, and eventually 90{f3c65145988e2e59c83e583cebd868b487b41a6223d103cb7159bbb31ea456e1} or even more quit. Guess how many success stories we haven’t seen because of that?

Focus on learning the basic skills and mastering one strategy, and then expand your personal growth by learning everything else like copywriting (which is definitely an essential skill to master), creating sales funnels, paid ads, webinars structure along the way when you are ready.

Lie #2: I need to do everything

This is one of the BIGGEST marketing lies, that you’ll ever hear. First you try to learn everything, then you try to DO everything. Again, you only have about 14 hours per day maximum that you can spend on your business if you’re doing it full time.

Pick only one strategy that you’re gonna be so freaking good at. You have to choose something that resonates with you the most. So if you’re extrovert and comfortable talking in front of the camera, then do videos. If you’re good at writing, then do blogging. You get the point here. You need to focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses.

Let’s look at it closer. So if you think you’re afraid of camera and you don’t have enough confidence to do videos, and you do them anyways, then you watch them, and you don’t like them, and as a result – your videos don’t bring you the positive outcome that you’re looking for. Guess what happens next? You think that it doesn’t work and you quit doing it.

Instead of that, do something that you’re good at, learn the strategy in details, and stick to it until you become a MASTER of it!

Lie #3: I can succeed without any extra help

When I got started in the network marketing industry around 2 years ago, I didn’t have a mentor, I didn’t have a coach, I didn’t have any support, I didn’t have any training. I was still in high school trying to get rich online! Can you relate? Obviously not with the fact that I was still in high school, but with getting rich online. Just kidding.

Anyways, I had no idea what the heck I was doing. I knew I had to find a way to make this “Internet thing” work, because I saw that it worked for other people. That’s why I had to figure it out whatever it takes.

Then I discovered that there are people who are willing to help you. And I came across communities like this one, where you have access to so many industry leaders, who teach you the skills every single week. This is basically how I got back into the industry after a short break. I found the right community, which I stick to. And this is my biggest recommendation for you, if you’re brand new or lack the skills, lack the training, and lack the support that you know, you need.

So there you have it – 3 deadly marketing lies that most entrepreneurs still believe in. I hope you’re not gonna be one of them, since you read this post. And whenever someone mentions one of these marketing lies, you can tell them that they’re completely wrong.

I use to have the paralysis of analysis syndrome myself… and then when i did learn things i felt like i had to do everything… no more…. people definitely need to read and take heed to this one Jelena… thanks for sharing

I can certainly relate to the points you make here Jelena. It is soooo easy to get knocked off track with this training and that training, and then this technique and that technique. There is no better advice than learning one or two basic skills and going from there once they are mastered. It took me quite a while to learn that lesson — and I still get tampted to be drawn off course with the next shiny object! Mentors can certainly help in developing a direction and plan and sticking with it. Great post!
